the photo you snapped for my grand-father for his book is a very memorable one; it is a true picture of him in military pose. what a coincidence of last name Albertine! are you related? did you find the negative?
sincerely, Roberta Robinson

In 1968 I was in the USAF assigned to Otis Air Force Base in Bourne, Massachusetts. I was the chief photographer at the base photo lab. One morning I was called to take a portrait of a WWI retired Colonel dressed in his vintage uniform which surprisingly fit perfectly as if it had just been issued to the young soldier! He was stunned when he read my name tag “Albertine” and introduced himself as Connell “Colonel” Albertine. We had a wonderful conversation as I made portraits of him for a book jacket of his WWI memoirs he told me was soon to be published. I was very pleased with the portrait of him which is poorly reproduced on this website. I assume the reproduction was taken from the book jacket. I’ll research my negative files to see if the original still exists. Thanks to everyone for honoring this patriotic veteran and long-lost relative.

He would tear up whenever he spoke of WWI and his buddies that did not come home. He was just a teenager then, but it was like yesterday to him when he spoke of his time as a Yankee Doughboy.
